Guadalupe – At the Break of Dawn launches on May 1, 2021 with a series of webinars featuring conversations with theologians, art historians and musicians who will share viewpoints, raise questions, and find areas of convergence and divergence in the study of lo guadalupano.

Guadalupe – At the Break of Dawn re-examines and integrates important and underexplored aspects of lo guadalupano through high-level scholarship that is collaborative and inter-disciplinary.

For nearly 500 years, Our Lady of Guadalupe has lived prominently in the imagination and hearts of millions of people across the Americas and beyond.

Lo guadalupano – the world of Guadalupe — embraces inter-related and ever-evolving realities: the famous tilma itself, apparition accounts and religious practices, along with a vibrant universe of art. It has engendered a huge corpus of work in Spanish and English, including devotional writings, prayers and music. Academic Guadalupan studies include historical explorations, revisionist accounts, and contemporary interpretations employing gender and political foci.
